Hello and thank you for joining me.
One of my first questions to a married couple is “what do feel is ailing your marriage?” Out of all the answers that I have received I think that “communication” is the most stated problem. It’s the one answer that I get frequently.
The reason for that is because once the relationship has had the wedding ceremony people tend to jump into their lives and begin from where they left off, but the difference is the couple is now at the beginning of what will become a united life in marriage.
As the stages in your life change they should take on that change very carefully, especially when being joined with your life partner. It is a process of combining both lives into one. It will take time and patience on both behalves to make your marriage a lasting unity.
I usually tell couples that the first three years will have it’s ups and downs but as long as you are putting God at the center and are keeping open lines of communication you can get through this time. Keep in mind that being kind and considerate of one another is a must always and also remember that you are a team. It takes work to combine two lives into one.
- The one thing I tell Christian couples to be sure of is that God is at the center of their marriage.
- Praying together is important. Remember the couple that prays together stays together!
- Make a promise to each other to always communicate no matter how difficult the subject.
- Work at your friendship as husband and wives. You should be each other’s best friend.
- Make time for God.
- Make time for each other. You will need to fill each other’s love tank weekly.
- Always be respectful and kind to one another.
- Always say Thank you and please to each other.
- Never let the sun go down on your anger. Either resolve the issue or agree to come back to it
In the morning. - Remember when you forgive you should not bring it up again.
- Always say hello in the morning and goodnight when going to bed. Acknowledging each other shows
you care. - Be there for each other like your vows said in sickness and in health for richer or poorer til death do
you part. Take your vows you made to each other very seriously. It shows how much you truly love
each other.
If you have questions about strengthening your sense of unity, please feel free to send me a message.
Thank you
